The variety of things to do in Bolivia was outstanding. Camila did a great job of organizing everything, demonstrating amazing flexibility and an ability to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. David stands out among several great guides for his attention to detail and our interests. Being able to bird with Berto was a real highlight.

Unfortunately the roads were less maintained than the driver and guide had expected, or seen in their previous travels, so this day ended up taking us 14 hours, getting us to our hotel in Uyuni around 10PM and limiting how much free time we had at each destination (all of about 10min at each site). As two very active, adventurous travelers we found ourselves very restless sitting in a car all day, but I'm not sure how else this could have been planned, since all the sites we wanted to see were spread out.

This was the highlight of our 4 week trip, especially as more authentic and traditional people and way of life. We also did the death road ride which team of gravity was excellent with strong emphasis on safety and enjoying. 2 opportunities for improvement re 1 prewar day 1 of altitude as most of us on tour suffered altitude sickness and too late in taking medication and arriving earlier on day 1 could have allowed us to do the valley of the moon tour day 1 and hence allowed day 2 to visit other locations in Chile in San Pedro de Atacama. Thanks Camaros for a wonderful trip and beautiful memories of your country.

Uyuni Salt Flats was amazing & I enjoyed the day spent on the flats. Accommodations at Hotel # 8 Jardines de Uyuni and Hotel # 10, Mallku Cueva Hotel, Villa Ma were not upto par.. The king size double bed was too large for the room that there was hardly any room left to move around the room or put the luggage resulting in having to put the luggage on the bed.

Other than that, the tour was well arranged & the guides were very professional & knowledgeable.

Hi Maggy! thanks for your feedback! I am sorry the hotels in Uyuni and the desert have not been to your liking, we all agree there should be more 4-star hotels on the route to San Pedro de Atacama. It was very nice to meet you! and I hope you had a good impression of my country.

We organised a trip to Bolivia originally for 10 days and Camila responded very quickly and came up with an agenda.From our end it was all very last minute due to personal reasons so we were very happy with the quick and helpful responses from Camila as we refined our trip back to 9 days total.
Well what can we say. It was all amazing and difficult to pick out the highlights as our intent was to see as much as possible in our short time. This meant leaving out any viewing of the Amazon and northern areas other than a great trip to Lake Titicaca and the surrounds.We then had a few days in La Paz which were great. The altitude did affect us but not to the extent of spoiling our trip. The Inca Trail we walked I think should have been listed as moderate to difficult because of the uneven terrain.Once again we still managed it well but maybe a little slowly.
We have to say all our guides were attentive, professional and gave us their all. Orlando, William,Johnny and David and their respective drivers. a particular thumbs up for Paolino! our fantastic driver on the salt Flats.This guy really went the extra for us. If we've left anyone out it is not our intent. The staff that cared for us were all fantastic as was the programme drawn up by Camila. We travelled into Bolivia from San Pedro, Chile crossed the border which was a drawn out experience but then we were up and away. The accomodation was all very good. We guess the measure is " would we use this company agin or recommend it to family or friends. Most definitely YES! Micky and Robyn

Mi Pueblo Samary Hotel Boutique

We really enjoyed this Hotel. The food was great. Why eat out when you can have quality food like this in house. A great breakfast, good coffee- very important and the view from the upstairs balcony on a great day was fantastic. This old Villa has been tastefully furnished and is abound with lovely furniture, paintings and relics of the colonial days. Ideally situated close to the town centre and other amenities it provided us within a restful and interesting stay over.

Camila was there to answer my phone calls and texts at midnight. It turned out the sub had forgotten all about it. We took our own transportation by taxis to the airport. And Camila was quick to ask the management of Sendas Altas to make reimbursements of the taxi fares. And we received it within a few days of the incident.
Oxygen tanks were readily available in the vehicles, which helped our senior tour members who sometimes struggled with the lack of oxygen in such a high elevation sites.

Camila worked up a varied and comprehensive 16-day trip focused mostly on the altiplano. It was challenge for both of us to arrange a visit to Chipaya Village, a remote indigenous community. She was open to my requests for additions and changes and followed my progress daily while I was in-country. Camila provided probably the most detailed personal service I have ever had from a travel agency. Muchas gracias!
